ISBN:  9781501111532 (hc.) Alternate title:  Growing food, love, and family on Essex Farm, a memoir Edition:  1st Scribner hardcover ed. Description:  296 p. : ill. ; 22 cm. Summary:  "Kristin Kimball's first book chronicled her move from New York City to 500 acres near Lake Champlain where she started a new farm with her partner, Mark. In this book, she reveals what happened over the next five years at Essex Farm. Farming has many ups and downs, and the middle years were hard for the Kimballs. Mark got injured, the weather turned against them, and the farm faced financial pressures. Meanwhile, they had two small children to care for. How does one traverse the terrain of a maturing marriage and the transition from being a couple to being a family? How will the farm survive? What does a family need in order to be happy? Kristin had chosen Mark and farm life after having a good look around the world, with a fair understanding of what her choices meant. She knew she had traded the possibility of a steady paycheck, of wide open weekends and spontaneous vacations, for a life and work that was challenging but beautiful and fulfilling. So with grit and grace and a good sense of humor, she chose to dig in deeper. Featuring local characters and cherished animals, plus a colorful cast of aspiring first-generation farmers who work at Essex Farm to acquire the skills they need to start sustainable farms of their own, this book is about animals and plants, farmers and food, friends and neighbors, love and marriage, births and deaths, growth and abundance."--From publisher.
